Clouding Behavior of Ethylene Oxide‐Propylene Oxide Block Copolymer P85: The Effect of Additives

Acrylamide-induced enhanced solubilization of poly(propylene glycol) in aqueous solution

“…In contrast, some surfactants, 10,22 ionic liquids 10 and sodium thiocyanate 11,12 can increase the solubility of PPG. These findings are consistent with the observations seen in PPG containing triblock copolymer poly(ethylene oxide)- b -poly(propylene oxide)- b -poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO–PPO–PEO), 23–26 marketed under the trade name Pluronic. This suggests that PPG could serve as a model system for understanding the clouding behavior or solubilization of these PPG containing copolymers.…”

Study of micellar and phase separation behavior of mixed systems of triblock polymers

“…At a particular temperature, these PEO-H 2 O interactions attain minima that ultimately results in phase transition. This phenomenon of demixing or phase transition is known as cloud point and the temperature at which this phase separation takes place is known as the cloud point temperature [24]. Cloud point helps in the determination of necessary storage conditions required for different nonionic surfactants and their mixtures.…”
